The performance evolution of F-FASG under dry-wet cycle conditions was systematically investigated, with emphasis on mechanical degradation mechanisms, chloride ion transport behavior, and micro-structural reorganization using TEM, XPS, and MIP analyses.

These concrete mixes with activator-to-precursor ratios ranging from 0.3 to 0.8 were developed, and their performance was evaluated over time to assess the influence of the activator-to-precursor ratio. The findings from this study demonstrate that by limiting the activator-to-precursor ratio to 0.5 or below, higher compressive strengths in the range of 65–70 MPa may be attained, while maintaining drying shrinkage strains of the order 500 to 700 microstrains, within the allowable limits. Also, by restricting the activator-to-precursor ratio to 0.5 or below, these concretes exhibited a volume of permeable voids below 13 % and minimal weight loss ranging from 1.12 % to 2.5 % under acidic exposure. Additionally, other durability parameters, such as water penetration depth and sorptivity, ranged from 6 to 19 mm and 1.59–2.36 mm, respectively, and remained within acceptable limits, irrespective of the activator-to-precursor ratio.

However, existing studies have largely underestimated the detrimental effects of real-service environments on the recyclability of recycled concrete, particularly freeze-thaw cycles. This study systematically investigates the properties of repeatedly recycled aggregates (RRA) and carbonated RRA (CRRA) after freeze-thaw-loading exposure, along with the durability of repeatedly recycled aggregate concrete (RRC) and carbonated RRC (CRRC). The results demonstrate that successive multi-generation recycling processes lead to progressive deterioration in both RRA and CRRA.

In concrete, third-generation CRRC (CRRC3) achieved a compressive strength of 33.0 MPa, withstanding 62.6 % more than RRC3, attributable to the enhanced cement hydration of fresh mortar induced by carbonation products. Moreover, CRRC1 and CRRC2 could withstand 300 and 250 freeze-thaw cycles without failure, respectively, with an increase of 50 cycles than RRC1 and RRC2. Notably, CRRC3 exhibited a 43.3 % improvement in chloride penetration resistance compared to RRC3, satisfying the permeability index for a 50-year design service life of structural concrete in an E-type chloride environment as stipulated in relevant standards.

The proposed technique leverages physics engines, commonly used in game development, to perform structural collapse simulations. An algorithm integrating FEM into the backend of a rigid-body simulation model has been developed. Failure criteria are employed to detect cracking, while a Depth-First Search (DFS) algorithm determines active and inactive elements during the simulation. Based on the DFS categorization, displacements are applied to active rigid bodies, whereas inactive ones are influenced by physics engine for collisions and movements under gravity. The developed algorithm is validated by comparing its results with theoretical solutions, experimental data, and simulations from the literature for structural components including beams, columns, and 2D and 3D frames. The results show that the proposed approach outperforms AEM in both accuracy and computational efficiency, even with fewer elements. Influence of the number of rigid bodies to discretize the structure on accuracy, failure pattern, debris extent and simulation time is also investigated. The findings suggest that a limited number of elements for discretization can achieve sufficiently realistic and computationally efficient results, making the approach particularly suitable for collapse simulations where reduced simulation time is critical.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15064,"journal":{"name":"Journal of building engineering","volume":"114 ","pages":"Article 114299"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145269871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
